The false self is you

When you begin to meditate, it is usually with an attention to change, to transform to become something different than you are. That is both necessary and wrong at the same time. It is necessary because your focused awareness is needed and it is wrong because your intention is to improve, remove or change something and what you are wishing for cannot be achieved with that intention.

The only thing that changes things for the better is clarity and knowing. Once your meditation has begun, let go of your intention to improve or change anything and instead simply allow yourself to be aware of what ever issue had your attention. Feel the heaviness, the pain, the unconscious and emotion of whatever the issue is and then become aware of your judgment of it and look at the identity and the presence of what is making the judgment. That, which makes judgments, is not you.

The purpose of your meditation and the transforming power of meditation is in identifying the false self and watching it once you have seen that in fact, it is separate from the observer, which is you. Your observance of the false self is a repetitive process, as there is not just one; there are many false selves and only one observer.

Your consciousness will be captured again and again by your false selves. Each time that it happens it is no big deal, once you realize that it has happened. Then, from within the beingness of your merger and identification with this false self, observe it as if it was an actor’s suit that you are animating and it will begin to dissolve. Once it has dissolved sufficiently, you will be back to your full observer awareness and the remainder will quickly leave.

Once you become familure with the process, you will be able to observe many created, false, or other presences in one meditation without buying into any of them, then you will have mastered the pathway to eternal freedom. The pathway to eternal freedom is a process of removal, until nothing but divine truth remains. Don’t be afraid to let yourself go, yes it feels like you to you, but the reason that the false self is so hard to get rid of is the simple fact that the false self is; YOU.
